Legacy Show (Online Only): New Beginnings
New Beginnings, the title of the gallery’s first show, is a double entendre. It refers to both the beginning of the art gallery, and is also an homage to the April 4th founding of Sigma Lambda Beta, the nation’s largest Latino-based fraternity, of which all Gallery 86 founders are members. Works span many media, including traditional painting, charcoal drawing, and digital. The pieces touch upon themes of failure, resurgence, immigration, nostalgia, and rebirth. In all works, the artists reveal a part of themselves as they explore the rite-of-passage that is embarking upon an unknown future, while drawing strength from experiences past.
In honor of the founding of Sigma Lambda Beta, 10% of all sales through April 30th will be donated to the Sigma Lambda Beta Education Foundation to be applied toward undergraduate scholarships. Also, in light of the proposed elimination of the National Endowment of the Arts, we will send a letter of support for the arts to the White House any time you support our artists and buy a piece of work (limit one letter per buyer).
